With a view to enhancing the safety of council officers, local authorities in Lincolnshire are preparing to adopt the use of body-worn cameras. This decision has been made in response to growing concerns over the aggressive behaviour frequently faced by officials in the line of duty. The cameras can be turned on at will, with the intention of defusing potentially explosive situations and guaranteeing staff safety. This scheme underlines the council’s dedication to fostering a more secure job environment for its personnel.
